Chapter 29 A Request(1/2)
For Kadek, life has been pretty good lately.
After the danger was eliminated, the gray dwarves discovered a silver vein in the mine tunnel. The continuous production of silver from it also made the status of the gray dwarf consul of Khadek more and more secure. Not only did he use his abundant funds to make several
This guy who was always at odds with him "disappeared forever" and even held banquets from time to time to show off his wealth. Now the entire Brandon Stone City knows the name of Archon Kardek's generosity and the wealth he has.
.
Now Kardek is immersed in lively banquets every day, accepting the praise and compliments of others. He is now the most famous ruler in Brandon Stone City. For Kardek, there is nothing better than
This is more important.
If there was anything Kardek was dissatisfied with, it was the tall obsidian tower outside the city. It was like a sharp thorn stuck in Kardek's throat, making him unable to relax.
Although he and the Necromancer have reached an agreement, who knows what will happen in the end? Although the two sides are still in peace so far, Kardek is still very worried. He hopes that the Necromancer will
The mage can suddenly leave one day and never come back, but he can only think about it behind his back.
"Lord Archon Kardek?"
The call from his entourage brought Kardek back to his senses from his somewhat dazed thoughts. He turned his head and looked at the splendid hall and the lively banquet in front of him. The smell of barbecue and wine hit his face, and the gray dwarves sang loudly.
The praise sounds so ethereal, like a fantasy scene in a dream.
"What's up?"
Kadek obviously saw his follower's eyes scanning in the direction of the Obsidian Tower, and then silently retracting it, but he didn't say anything more about it. The tower has become the tacit understanding of the residents of Brandon Stone City.
Secretly, Kardek certainly knew that many gray dwarves had doubts about the necromancer, but he chose to remain silent because of the necromancer's strength and relationship with him.
Maybe he should let the news out in private and tell his people that his relationship with the necromancer is not as close as they thought? If this is the case, will someone help him make a choice? Maybe he should
Give a little help to some people who don't like mages?
"...That's it, the mage's envoy is waiting for you outside..."
"What?!"
Just as Kardek was wandering away while listening to the report of his entourage, the words spoken by the other party immediately frightened Kardek. He let out a light drink, and then hurriedly covered his mouth subconsciously,
He looked around cautiously. Fortunately, the noise of the gray dwarves drowned out his screams. Except for a few nearby drunken gray dwarves who reluctantly looked over here, no one else noticed the consul.
Abnormal. They were holding their glasses high and yelling around the table.
"...When did you come?"
It was only then that Kardek breathed a sigh of relief, then he pulled his entourage aside and asked in a low voice.
"Just, just now, she said she had something important to discuss with you."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Hearing this, Kardek stamped his feet and slapped the unfortunate guy on the face. Then he immediately turned around and hurried out of the hall where a lively banquet was being held.
When Kadek came to the door, he quickly saw the dark elf standing at the bottom of the stairs, wrapped in a cloak. She stood in the shadow at the door of the hall, and her whole body seemed to merge with the shadow.
As one body. If Kardek hadn't looked carefully, he might not have been able to see her.
Damn dark elves......
While muttering secretly in his heart, Kardek put on a warm smile on his face and walked towards Verna.
"Hello, I haven't seen you for a long time, Miss Verna. I really didn't expect you to come here. I'm sorry for the loss. By the way, we are holding a banquet. Do you want to come with us?
?I believe everyone will warmly welcome you."
"That's not necessary, Mr. Kardec."
Verna still looked cold, and she didn't know whether she had an objection to the gray dwarf consul or to Zhan who sent her here, or maybe both...
"I am here this time just to make a request to you on behalf of the mage."
"ask?"
To a certain extent, this is actually the same as an "order" - it may even be worse.
"Yes, originally the mage wanted to come in person, but in the end he decided to send me to talk to you."
"So, what does Master Mage need me to do for him?"
Hearing this, Kardek secretly breathed a sigh of relief deep in his heart. If the necromancer really came to his door, then no matter how rude the request he made, he would probably have no choice but to nod in agreement, otherwise
Khadek can be sure that he will definitely be punished severely by the other party. In that case, his face will be completely lost in front of his people! But then again, even if he nods and agrees to the other party's request, then
Isn’t it just as embarrassing?
Thinking of this, Kardek couldn't help but look behind him. The faint singing voice coming from the hall became louder and louder. It was obvious that the gray dwarves were already drunk. But that's okay. After they wake up tomorrow, today
Everything that happened at night will be forgotten, and no one will remember where they went, who they did, and what they did.
"That's right."
Verna didn't pay attention to the expression on Kardek's face, but continued to speak on her own.
"I think Mr. Kardec, you also know that there is a group of goblins not far from Brandon Stone City."
"Of course I know this."
Hearing this, Kardek's expression turned gloomy. Those damn goblins were probably Kardek's biggest headache. They relied on their familiarity with the terrain to wander around the outskirts of Brandon Stone City all day long.
, and sometimes even rob caravans and harass their customers, which made Brandon Stone City lose face.
Although Kardek also organized several sieges against goblins, they all ended in failure. If nothing else, these damn goblins have first-class escape skills. The gray dwarves did not dare to leave the city too far, so they could only
Helplessly watching those bastards showing off their power outside his sight. It can be said that although these goblins are not very powerful, they are quite annoying. It is not that Khadek has not thought of catching them all, but for the gray dwarves, this is not a good idea.
Simple job.
"If Mr. Kardek is willing, then the mage can help you solve this little trouble - of course, the mage also needs Mr. Kardek's cooperation."
So that’s it.
After hearing this, Kardek finally understood what Verna meant. In other words, the necromancer planned to kill these goblins, but he needed Brandon Stone City's participation. But what Kardek couldn't figure out was that a
Necromancers don't need assistance at all. As long as there are enough undead creatures, everything can be done, right? So what's the use of having people like yourself?
"So what do you want?"
Of course, Khadek wouldn't think that the other party was really so kind. Even on the surface, I'm afraid no one would do this kind of voluntary labor. And now, a necromancer came eagerly to help him solve his trouble?
Kadek wouldn't believe it even if he said there was nothing fishy in it.
"It's very simple."
Obviously, Verna was well prepared for this. When she heard Kardek's question, she just raised her eyebrows and then immediately answered.
"The Master Mage hopes to obtain ownership of that land after destroying those goblins."
I see!
Hearing this, Kardek suddenly understood and understood what the other party meant.
Generally speaking, if those goblins are eliminated, then Brandon Stone City will definitely expand further. As an "ideal, ambitious, and far-sighted" gray dwarf governor, Kardek naturally hopes that Bran will expand further.
Dengshi City has developed and grown in his own hands. After such a feat, he can also have the title of "Sage" and place his own stone statue in the Hall of Heroes. But before, because of the troubles of those goblins, he could not go there.
Proceed. And if these goblins are dealt with, then there will not be any big problems in the construction work in the surrounding areas of Brandon Stone City.
And the mage obviously knew this very well, or he had already discovered the location of the goblins, so he made this request. After all, if he really helped Brandon Stone City eliminate those goblins, then it would be natural for him to be rewarded. Gray dwarves are certainly cunning.
, but when facing opponents of comparable strength, they are still very trustworthy.
But after hearing this, Kardek was a little hesitant. He still didn't know where the goblin's lair was. What if there were some priceless mineral veins there...? Thinking of this, the Gray Dwarf Archon
Suddenly his face was full of smiles and he asked.
"That...Miss Verna? I would like to ask...what's there..."
"Make no mistake."
Before Kardek could finish speaking, Verna interrupted him coldly.
"The Master Mage chose that place because it is a very suitable place for him to conduct some magic experiments. It's as simple as that. There is nothing you want there. If you don't want to, forget it."
"Of course it's no problem!"
Hearing that it was something related to magic, Kardek immediately didn't bother to care about it. Gray dwarves have always been insulated from magic. As long as it is not gems and mineral veins, then other things are no different from waste to them. Thinking of this,
Kardek immediately put aside his worries about gains and losses, and then looked at Verna with a smile on his face.
"Please tell Master Mage that our Brandon Stone City has always been committed to protecting the safety of caravans passing along the way. We are bound to capture these goblins. We will definitely send the most elite troops to assist Master Mage in combating these dangerous passers-by.
Team security monster!”
Kardek's expression was so serious and serious. If there were another light on it, he would look like a Paladin. But the next moment, he immediately revealed his true colors.
"It's just...hehehe, Miss Verna, you also know that we don't have enough manpower at the moment. It may take some time to gather enough elite troops..."
"…………"
This time, Verna didn't say anything, but threw her hand away with a cold face. The next moment, a rectangular iron box was thrown in front of Kardek with a "dong" sound. This scared the gray dwarf ruler.
The officer jumped, and he glanced at Verna in confusion, then stretched out his hand to open the box. After seeing what was inside, Kardek's eyes immediately radiated a sparkling light.
"This is……………"
